It all seemed so bizarre this morning. Sure, there are tussles between teammates at training grounds all the time but a threat involving a brick as a weapon? Where on the training ground do you find such loose bricks?

Then again, if this entire incident between former Swansea captain Garry Monk and current teammate Chico Flores only serves to give us the following quote then it’s probably all worth it.

“It was just an argument between team-mates as can happen sometimes in a training session or in any changing room of any football team… nothing more!” said the Spaniard.

“I did not threaten anybody in any moment and even less with a brick. I consider myself a respectful person and a good team-mate who likes unity and closeness and I help create a good atmosphere around my team-mates. My relationship with Garry Monk has always been fantastic and still is.”

So to recap: no denial of police being called and there certainly was some sort of problem but no bricks were harmed in the making of this non-rift between teammates.
